Hi there,
i've just been wondering that now after the source code for Mario64 is publicly available, shouldn't it be possible to port it to 3ds?
Of course including any copyrighted assets would cause legal issues etc. though.
I have no idea how porting a game works at all, so if you guys would like to give your two cents that would be neat.
Something about the idea of Mario64 running natively on the system strikes my fancy.

You got both a n64 emulator for the n3ds or the ds game super mario 64. pick one play it. if not play it on a pc emulator. or just whip out the N64 console with the game.

Seems a bit pointless having TWO ways to play the game on 3DS already.
Maybe dream of a switch port with enhaced *everything* instead?

Yeah, perfectly possible. But it's not as simple as pressing a few buttons.

I'd love it on the 3ds because why not? probably be easier to add features, levels, or characters that way.

This thread isn't even off the front page yet. Do we really need another hundred posts on the subject?

Oh i didn't see that post. It's a bit odd that the search engine didn't show those two threads when i created this one, it only showed other less relevant ones.
I guess you can close this thread then as it's redundant. Or move over the replies to the to the other thread if that's possible. *shrugs*

    Fucking lame. Thread viewed 1000 times and only one reply that doesnt even answer what I asked.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    You could say the same for a couple or so threads that used to be popular, I guess.
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    I mean. All I ask was for people to see if ONE, SINGLE website is working properly in edge. 1000 people see it but cant be bothered at all
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    Ready to just leave this place anyway. The amount of shit talking and bullying behavior that goes unchecked is crazy. No where else do I see this shit towards me and others. Not even on reddit have I been talked to like I have here by other members
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @RedColoredStars, I did read the last sentence in your post by the way. Maybe try changing the privacy settings in your browser to standard if that works.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    I've also heard that Chromium-based browsers will stop working with ad-blockers.

  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    Thing is , the videos work fine in the Edge Dev and Canary builds. But whatever the fix they made was, has never been pushed to Beta or Stable builds. Its been that way for as far back as I tested. Which was Edge 84. They are on 125 now.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @RedColoredStars, Yeah, and I was in quite a mood at that time. I would consider choosing Firefox or Opera instead, been using Firefox for over 7 years now than Chrome.
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    Tried contacting Nintendo to see if they can reach out to MS about it. But Nintendo said the videos are working fine. Without enough people saying no, they don't work fine, it will never get fixed.
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    I have Firefox and used it for many years. But Edge runs noticible faster on my pc at both opening and loading pages.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    I don't think Nintendo will know anything about troubleshooting Edge. They mostly do technical support regarding their console family.

    Good one, Ken.
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    Right. But they could create a ticket that gets forwarded to the proper team. I think Nintendo would care that their videos aren't working on a major browser
